Hope Solo, probably the best female goalie ever, is probably seeing the end of her professional career. Her behavior along with the swimmer’s antics and lies at the Olympics have given our country a “spoiled brat” image. Don’t we at least somewhat deserve it?

I’m sure it’s there, but it’s getting harder to see.
